Sky TV apps hacked, all now removed from the Play Store

Sky TV has advised that their Android applications have been hacked, and as such all have been removed from the Google Play Store. The image seen here coincided with the latest 'update' to the Sky Go app, and appears to show the culprits behind the hacking. On their official Twitter feed, the Sky Help Team had this to say to their customers:

UPDATE: All Sky's Android apps were hacked and replaced... please uninstall it, And we will let you know when it will be available

If you've downloaded a Sky TV app in the last 24 hours, the advice is clear. Remove it from your device, and Sky will update when they have resolved the situation. As it stands, all apps have now been removed from the Google Play Store.

Just checked the apps that were suposedly compromised. None of them are dangerous for your cell and they all work fine. There is no need to panic and unistall working app. As for 2 step ver it is not a cure for everything it still can be bypassed.

what they dont have 2 step verification for developers uploading content that is automatically updated to millions of devives by play store all over the world. amazing over sight by google for security. google is as much to blame for not making 2 step verification compulsory for all developers uploading content to play store
